夏天又快到了，很多家庭又到了計(jì)劃全家出游的時(shí)候。如果你想到歐洲去轉(zhuǎn)一圈，Travel + Leisure網(wǎng)站上有很多省錢游歐洲的小攻略。但首先你要知道的是，如何在正確的時(shí)間去正確的地方。

讓我們先來看看Booking.com的統(tǒng)計(jì)結(jié)果。從數(shù)據(jù)上看，消費(fèi)者旅游首選的歐洲城市基本上都是各個(gè)國(guó)家的首都，比如倫敦、巴黎和羅馬等。除了這些城市之外，歐洲其實(shí)還有很多物美價(jià)廉的去處——這個(gè)問題稍等一下再說。如果你真想去倫敦、巴黎或羅馬，那么8月或許是價(jià)格最實(shí)惠的月份。在這個(gè)月造訪歐洲三大都市，至少能比6月或7月省下24%以上的費(fèi)用。但你也要做好街上很多商店都關(guān)門了的準(zhǔn)備——因?yàn)闅W洲大部分國(guó)家這個(gè)月也在放假。

另一種省錢的方法則是去轉(zhuǎn)轉(zhuǎn)其他城市。我們聯(lián)手Booking.com篩選了一些非美國(guó)游客熱門目的地的城市，這些地方風(fēng)情各異，也非常值得一去。另外我們也指出了造訪這些城市最劃算的月份，以及最理想的旅行方式（如團(tuán)隊(duì)游、雙人游、家庭游或單人游等 ）。

要想省下些機(jī)票錢，你最好提前8到10個(gè)星期就開始訂票——根據(jù)客涯網(wǎng)（Kayak）的歷史數(shù)據(jù)，只有這樣你才能買到最便宜的機(jī)票。另外，去歐洲旅行可能還會(huì)牽涉一些額外費(fèi)用，比如乘坐廉價(jià)航空的一些附加費(fèi)用（有些廉航機(jī)票只包一個(gè)基本的座位費(fèi)），行李的重量限制（說不定你想在國(guó)外大大地采購(gòu)一番）等。如果你飛到了一個(gè)中型機(jī)場(chǎng)，那還得加上中轉(zhuǎn)費(fèi)用。另外，個(gè)別機(jī)場(chǎng)還會(huì)想法設(shè)法收取一些亂七八糟的費(fèi)用，比如如果你把瑞安航空（RyanAir）的登機(jī)牌忘在家了，在機(jī)場(chǎng)重新打印就要收你30美元。

斯德哥爾摩，瑞典

何時(shí)去最便宜：7月

最佳旅游方式：?jiǎn)稳擞慰?/p>

看點(diǎn)：這座城市有著濃郁的咖啡文化。一本雜志、一杯咖啡、一塊肉桂面包，就是當(dāng)?shù)厝巳粘Ｉ畹目s影。之所以建議大家7月去，是因?yàn)樗?月至少能省下16%的旅費(fèi)，而且這個(gè)月份也能享受到北歐地區(qū)更長(zhǎng)的陽光。如果你來到這里，千萬別忘了到海邊買幾斤漁民剛撈上來的鮮貝，夾在黑麥面包上吃，味道棒棒嗒！

波西塔諾，意大利

何時(shí)去最好：6月

最佳旅游方式：情侶游

看點(diǎn)：波西塔諾有些酒店和度假村住起來非常愜意，比如Le Sirenuse酒店就擁有世界級(jí)的服務(wù)和格調(diào)。前往這座海濱城市費(fèi)用最貴的月份是7月，如果你選擇在6月前往，就能省下不少錢。

布拉格，捷克

何時(shí)去最便宜：7月

最佳旅行方式：團(tuán)隊(duì)游

看點(diǎn)：布拉格每年7月會(huì)舉辦很多文化活動(dòng)，你既能看到超大規(guī)模的波西米亞爵士音樂節(jié)，也能現(xiàn)場(chǎng)聆聽莫扎特的經(jīng)典歌劇《唐璜》——這部歌劇依然在它1787年首次公映的那個(gè)劇場(chǎng)上演。你可以選擇下榻在去年12月剛剛建成的嶄新的Boho酒店里，這座酒店坐落于布拉格市中心，它的極簡(jiǎn)主義風(fēng)格的黑白內(nèi)飾也是一大看點(diǎn)。

馬德里，西班牙

何時(shí)去最便宜：8月

最佳旅游方式：團(tuán)隊(duì)游

看點(diǎn)：8月的馬德里天氣比較炎熱，有些商店也關(guān)門了，但你至少能比6月份省下21%的費(fèi)用。不過如果你提前做足了功課，這兩個(gè)問題也就都不是問題了。首先，包括普拉多博物館在內(nèi)的很多博物館還開著門，而且游客要比6月份少很多（里面的冷氣也很足）。其次，馬德里的各個(gè)角落都有賣西班牙凍湯和桑格里亞汽酒的地方，這兩種飲品絕對(duì)是夏日的消暑利器。

托斯卡納，意大利

何時(shí)去最便宜：8月

最佳旅游方式：情侶游

看點(diǎn)：如果你從來沒有爬上過Duomo大教堂的樓頂，沒有站在375英尺的高度上俯瞰這座盡是陶土房頂?shù)某鞘?，這輩子就算白活了。你可以在這座恬靜安適的城市住上幾天，然后再到托斯卡納周邊的鄉(xiāng)村過一個(gè)浪漫的周末，品品酒，在山坡上吃吃野餐，簡(jiǎn)直浪漫得一塌糊涂。另外，和6月相比，8月去托斯卡納至少能給你省下24%的旅費(fèi)。

克拉科夫，波蘭

何時(shí)去最便宜：7月

最佳旅游方式：?jiǎn)稳擞?/p>

看點(diǎn)：波蘭的第二大城市克爾科夫一直是個(gè)很低調(diào)的城市，很多人甚至不知道世界上還有這么個(gè)地方，一直到最近幾年，它才成為海外游客的熱點(diǎn)——它甚至被Travel + Leisure網(wǎng)站評(píng)為全球十佳城市之一。文藝復(fù)興時(shí)期這里誕生了許多年輕的思想家，如今這座滿是中世紀(jì)建筑的老城又煥發(fā)出了新的活力。由于二戰(zhàn)中一連串針對(duì)它的空襲都以失敗告終，克爾科夫的大量精美的老建筑最終都幸運(yùn)地保存到了現(xiàn)在。當(dāng)?shù)赜幸蛔蠵auza的著名酒吧坐落在一棟老房子的二樓，你在這里能夠遇見這座城市的很多科技達(dá)人。

柏林，德國(guó)

何時(shí)去最便宜：8月

最佳旅游方式：團(tuán)隊(duì)游

看點(diǎn)：大家似乎不明白為什么8月是逛柏林的好季節(jié)。歐洲很多國(guó)家的首都一到8月，不少商店就進(jìn)入了歇業(yè)狀態(tài)，而柏林的8月卻是最活躍的一個(gè)月份。你可以買上幾張柏林國(guó)際啤酒節(jié)或者八月舞蹈節(jié)的票，這兩場(chǎng)活動(dòng)每年都會(huì)吸引歐洲各國(guó)的大量游客。至于住宿，你可以下榻當(dāng)?shù)匾云洫?dú)特設(shè)計(jì)而聞名的Das Stue酒店，從這里開啟一場(chǎng)真正的《遺愿清單》式的旅行。

愛丁堡，英國(guó)

何時(shí)去最便宜：6月

最佳旅游方式：團(tuán)隊(duì)游

看點(diǎn)：8月的愛丁堡會(huì)扎堆舉辦好幾個(gè)藝術(shù)節(jié)，酒店房間自然也是人滿為患。如果你選在6月去，就會(huì)為你省下大約29%的費(fèi)用。不過你提前還是有很多功課要做。愛丁堡有條不得不去的街道，那就是照相簡(jiǎn)直完美的維多利亞街，這是一條彎彎曲曲的由鵝卵石鋪成的街道，直通向喬治四世大橋。在這里你能找到全愛丁堡最好的茶館——卡提薩克茶館（Cuttea Sark）。（推薦購(gòu)買含有西柚精華的“藍(lán)色佳人”紅茶，是一種絕佳的紀(jì)念品。）

杜布羅夫尼克，克羅地亞

何時(shí)去最便宜：6月

最佳旅游方式：家庭游

看點(diǎn)：歐洲的有閑一族最愛的消暑方式，是在達(dá)爾馬西亞的海灘玩帆船。而你則可以在這座歷史古跡保存完好且風(fēng)景絕佳的海邊城市過幾天神仙般的日子。你可以住在有19間客房的普謝客宮殿酒店（Pucic Palace）里，也可以去逛逛古城的海灘，在日暮時(shí)分登上中世紀(jì)古堡的城墻。你或許會(huì)覺得驚訝：為什么這里的很多景色都有似曾相識(shí)之感？答案是：《權(quán)力的游戲》的很多場(chǎng)景便是在杜布羅夫尼克的古城里取景的。

布魯日，比利時(shí)

何時(shí)去最便宜：7月

最佳旅游方式：情侶游

看點(diǎn)：布魯日可以說是全球最有魅力的地方之一，當(dāng)你看到那些13世紀(jì)的建筑時(shí)，恍惚間甚至?xí)a(chǎn)生進(jìn)入童話世界之感。要想在這座美麗的古城中呼吸一絲現(xiàn)代的氣息，你可以選擇入住梵克酒店（Van Cleef）。這座建筑已有700年的歷史了，它曾是傳奇的梵克家族的居住地，現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)改造成了一座精品酒店。這座酒店完美地將各種造型和顏色雜糅在一起，其設(shè)計(jì)只能用異想天開來形容。

巴塞羅那，西班牙

何時(shí)去最便宜：8月

最佳旅游方式：家庭游

看點(diǎn)：巴塞羅那整個(gè)夏天都值得一去。雖說8月份的旅費(fèi)最便宜，但6月和7月也就僅僅貴了3%。你可以在它的L’Eixample區(qū)瞻仰一下西班牙著名建筑師高迪的建筑作品，或是到保格利亞市場(chǎng)用區(qū)區(qū)幾美元吃一頓豐盛的大餐。住宿方面，你可以入住Casa Bonay酒店，它絕對(duì)是巴塞羅納所有新開張的酒店中設(shè)計(jì)最時(shí)尚的一座。

阿姆斯特丹，荷蘭

何時(shí)去最便宜：7月

最佳旅游方式：團(tuán)隊(duì)游

看點(diǎn)：對(duì)于情侶來說，乘小舟游運(yùn)河絕對(duì)是一次非常浪漫的體驗(yàn)。不過作為團(tuán)隊(duì)游客，在阿姆斯特丹也有很多好玩好逛的地方。首先這里有世界級(jí)的博物館（如阿姆斯特丹國(guó)立博物館，這里還新開了一家非常受歡迎的餐廳），其次你可以入住一些非常時(shí)尚的酒店（如Hoxton酒店）。另外你也可以去阿姆斯特丹著名的商業(yè)區(qū)九小街（Nine Streets）購(gòu)物。到時(shí)你會(huì)只恨爹媽沒有給你多生幾只手來拎購(gòu)物袋。

都柏林，愛爾蘭

何時(shí)去最便宜：8月

最適合的旅游方式：家庭游

看點(diǎn)：都柏林又稱“吉尼斯黑啤之都”。對(duì)于全家出游的游客來說，占地1700英畝的鳳凰公園（Phoenix Park）是個(gè)不得不去的地方。鳳凰公園位于市中心以西，是世界上最大的城中公園，公園里有花園、林蔭道、動(dòng)物園和茶室。都柏林也有非常適合孩子參觀的博物館和水族館。如果條件允許，盡量到阿什福德城堡住上一晚，讓全家人都體驗(yàn)一把王室般的奢華。

里斯本，葡萄牙

何時(shí)去最便宜：8月

最佳旅游方式：情侶游

看點(diǎn)：說起好玩不貴的歐洲城市，什么時(shí)候也不能忘了里斯本。里斯本的魅力不僅僅在于它的旅游價(jià)值，它還是一個(gè)崛起中的設(shè)計(jì)之都，堪稱是設(shè)計(jì)界的圣城麥加。許多藝術(shù)家用巧奪天工的技藝，給傳統(tǒng)的器物（比如鞋帽、首飾等）賦予了現(xiàn)代的氣息。6月是到里斯本旅游最貴的季節(jié)，旅費(fèi)比8月高出了14%。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

School’s (almost) out for summer—which means it’s time to start planning a getaway. If Europe is on your agenda, Travel + Leisure has you covered with lots of ways to save money as you plan. But the very first step is knowing how to be in the right place at the right time.

For that, we’ve rounded up data-driven suggestions from Booking.com. According to their insights, Americans are most likely to head to the continent’s capitals: London, Paris, and Rome. There are more cost-effective destinations—and we’ll get to that in a second—but if you’re also keen to visit one of the Big Three, then you ought to plan on visiting in August for the best prices across the board. Doing so will save you 24 percent off compared to a June or July trip, but be prepared for lots of stores to be closed—much of Europe is also on vacation that month.

Hitting alternative destinations is a smarter way to save. That’s why we’ve partnered with Booking.com to select European cities that might not be on the list of America’s most popular summer getaways, but should be. We’ve also figured out the cheapest month to visit and ideal traveler profile (groups, couples, families, or solo).

But don’t forget about saving on flights, too. To do that, book your tickets eight to ten weeks out from your trip—that’s when historic data from Kayak shows you’ll get the best deal. Consider extra charges from budget airlines (which could cover anything and everything, down to choosing a basic seat), baggage weight restrictions (in case you’re planning to bring home a haul), and transit costs if you’re flying to a secondary airport. And don’t overlook airline-specific, obscure fees, like forgetting your printed RyanAir boarding pass at home (it can cost you $30 to have it reprinted at the airport). More of these tips can be found right here.

Stockholm

Cheapest month to go: July

Best for: Solo travelers

Why book it: This city has such a vibrant café culture, you’ll feel like a local just by settling in with a journal, coffee, and a kardemmumabuller (translation: a supremely delicious, only-in-Sweden variety of the cinnamon bun made with plenty of cardamom instead.) Going in July means a 16 percent saving over trips in June, when summer prices are at their peak—and it also means long days of Scandinavian sun. While you’re there, be sure to hit the coast for fresh-from-the-fishermen shellfish, usually piled high on rye toast.

Positano

Best month to go: June

Best for: Couples

Why book it: You can break the bank staying at a hotel like Le Sirenuse—a global standard setter for service and style. But you can make up some of the difference by traveling in June rather than July, when prices max out in this seaside stunner of a destination.

Prague

Cheapest month to go: July

Best for: Groups

Why book it: July brings tons of cultural events to Prague—everything from the supersized Bohemia Jazz Fest to a staging of Mozart’s Don Giovanni in the same theater where it first premiered in 1787. Stay in the beautiful new Boho Hotel, which just opened in December with minimalist, grey-on-white interiors in the historic city center.

Madrid

Cheapest month to go: August

Best for: Groups

Why book it: Going in August means you’ll encounter pretty hot temperatures and some store closures in Madrid—but you’ll also save 21 percent over a trip in June. The good news is that if you’re smart about planning, neither of those two caveats will get in your way. For one thing, museums like the Prado are still open—and have far fewer crowds (along with plenty of air conditioning). And there’s always plenty of gazpacho and sangria to keep you cool, nearly anywhere you look.

Tuscany

Cheapest month to go: August

Best for: Couples

Why book it: If you’re never climbed to the top of the Duomo and surveyed a city of terracotta rooftops from 375 feet in the air, you simply haven’t lived. Spend a few days in this intimate, manageable city before whiling away a romantic weekend in the surrounding Tuscan countryside, where wine tastings and hillside picnics make for the most romantic of getaways. Bonus: traveling in August means you’ll save 24 percent compared to a trip in the peak month of June.

Krak?w

Cheapest month to go: July

Best for: Solo travelers

Why book it: After many years of flying under the radar, Poland’s second city is taking a turn in the spotlight—it’s even ranked in the top 10 T+L’s World’s Best Cities. Credit the renaissance to a young generation of creative thinkers, ready to infuse the city’s medieval buildings with a vibrant new energy. (The city’s stunning architecture largely survived WWII due to a series of failed air raids.) Rub elbows with the city’s emerging tech crowd at places like Pauza, a locally beloved bar on the second floor of a former tenement house.

Berlin

Cheapest month to go: August

Best for: Groups

Why book it: Nobody seems to understand why Berlin is so affordable in August; unlike other capitals that shut down for the month, Berlin is at its most alive this month. Get tickets to the International Beer Festival or Dance in August—both events that draw continental crowds—and book yourself in to Das Stue, our favorite design-driven property in town, for a true bucket list trip.

Edinburgh

Cheapest month to go: June

Best for: Groups

Why book it: August is Festival month in Edinburgh, when the city’s calendar of events is as packed as its hotel rooms. Going in June will save you a whopping 29 percent, and there’s still tons to do. After you’ve made your way through the city’s main sights, head straight to picture-perfect Victoria Street, a curved, cobblestone street right off the George IV Bridge, where you’ll find Cuttea Sark, the city’s best place to buy tea. (Get the Blue Lady black tea with grapefruit essence. It’s a perfect souvenir.)

Dubrovnik

Cheapest month to go: June

Best for: Families

Why book it: While Europe’s who’s who spend their summers yachting up the Dalmatian Coast, you can live the fabulous life in this stunningly preserved seaside city. Stay in the 19-room Pu?i? Palace, take a dip in one of the city’s pristine beaches, and walk the walls of the medieval fortress at sunset. Need a clue on why those historic ramifications look so familiar? Dubrovnik’s Old Town makes many a cameo in Game of Thrones.

Bruges, Belgium

Cheapest month to go: July

Best for: Couples

Why book it: You’ll feel like you’ve walked into a fairy tale when you see the 13th-century architecture that makes Bruges one of the most charming places on earth. For a breath of modernity in a city that’s all about the beautifully aged, stay at The Van Cleef. Once home to the legendary Van Cleef family, the 700-year-old estate has been updated as a boutique hotel where the whimsical design can only be characterized as a riotous, perfectly layered mash-up of patterns and colors.

Barcelona

Cheapest month to go: August

Best for: Families

Why book it: Barcelona offers great value all summer—and despite the fact that August offers the best prices, traveling in June or July will only cost you three percent more. Roam L’Eixample, with its fabulously over-the-top Gaudi buildings, and pop into La Boqueria market for a feast that’ll only cost a few bucks. Then collapse into bed at Casa Bonay, undoubtedly the most stylish new hotel in town.

Amsterdam

Cheapest month to go: July

Best for: Groups

Why book it: Strolling the canals is perfect for a romantic couples’ retreat, but Amsterdam has tons to offer for groups. Check out world-class museums like the Rijksmuseum (complete with a hot new restaurant), stay at ultra-hip hotels like the Hoxton, and hit the Nine Streets district for amazing shopping. The more hands you’ve got, the more bags you can hold.

Dublin

Cheapest month to go: August

Best for: Families

Why book it: The Guinness capital of the world, for families? Believe it. Dublin has Europe’s largest enclosed urban park just west of its downtown core—the 1,700-acre Phoenix Park includes gardens, tree-lined boulevards, a zoo, and a tea parlor. (The city also has a great children’s museum and aquarium.) Be sure to tack on a stay at Ashford Castle, where everyone (adults included!) can feel pampered as royalty.

Lisbon

Cheapest month to go: August

Best for: Couples

Why book it: It’s always been a strong candidate where affordable European destinations are concerned, but Lisbon isn’t just attractive for its value. It’s also an emerging design mecca, with tons of artisans putting a modern spin on traditional wares (we’re talking hats, shoes, jewelry—the fun stuff). Be advised that June is the most expensive summer month to travel, when a trip costs 14 percent more than it does in August.
